ASA/WISHH Project Director, Erica Morrow and Deputy Director, Liz Hare visited Ghana in December to participate in planning meetings related to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food for Progress funded AMPLIFIES Ghana poultry and feed industry development project.
Various subcontractors traveled to Accra to discuss upcoming activities that include improving feed, feedstuff quality analysis, feed miller training and poultry farm management capacity building. Participants in the meeting included professors from Iowa State, Kansas State University and the University of Kentucky, representatives from ADRA International Headquarters, and local partners, ADRA Ghana, KNUST University, University of Ghana and the local ASA/AMPLIFIES staff.
While in Ghana, Morrow and Hare met with the USDA’s Regional Agricultural Counselor, Charles Rush and the Agricultural Attaché, Dan Archibald, to update them on AMPLIFIES activities.
USDA is providing the American Soybean Association World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (ASA/WISHH) with $14.8 million over five years, 95 percent of which is funded by the sale of U.S. commodities, a process called monetization.
